Hornady 338 CAL .338 225 GR SST Projectile - 100pk
Hornady 338 CAL .338 225 GR SST Projectile - 100pk
Built for hunters who demand both precision and terminal performance, the Hornady 338 CAL .338 225 GR SST Projectile - 100pk is a premium reloading component engineered to perform across the full spectrum of large and dangerous game hunting. The SST (Super Shock Tip) design combines a hard polymer tip, copper jacket, lead core, and Hornady's proprietary InterLock ring into a bullet that delivers rapid, controlled expansion whether you're shooting at close range or stretching your zero out to distance. At 225 grains with a sectional density of 0.281 and a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.515, this projectile carries energy downrange efficiently, resists wind deflection, and hits hard at both ends of the velocity spectrum. Supplied in a 100-count box, this pack is ideal for reloaders looking to work up consistent, field-ready loads for medium to large game hunting.
Hornady 338 CAL .338 225 GR SST Projectile - 100pk Key Features
- Calibre and Bullet Diameter: Designed for .338 calibre rifles with a bullet diameter of .338 inch (8.59mm), making these projectiles suitable for popular .338 chamberings used extensively in Australian big game and long-range hunting applications.
- Bullet Weight: 225 grain (14.58g) offering a balance of flat trajectory and retained momentum, particularly well suited to large game ranging from 300 to 1,500 lbs (approx. 136 to 680kg).
- SST Polymer Tip: The hard polymer tip initiates rapid, reliable expansion on impact by driving into the lead core like a wedge. This initiates consistent upset even at lower impact velocities, reducing the risk of poor terminal performance at longer ranges.
- InterLock Ring: A mechanical cannelure that locks the copper jacket and lead core together during expansion. This retains bullet integrity and maximises weight retention through the target for deep, reliable penetration on large or tough-bodied animals.
- G1 Ballistic Coefficient: 0.515 G1 BC is a strong figure for this bullet weight and calibre, producing a flatter trajectory, reduced wind drift, and better retained velocity at distance compared to lower BC projectiles.
- Sectional Density: 0.281 SD supports deep penetration relative to bullet diameter, an important factor when hunting large-bodied or thick-skinned game where reaching vitals is critical.
- Secant Ogive Boattail Profile: The aerodynamic boattail base combined with a secant ogive profile reduces drag and improves in-flight stability, contributing to the flat trajectories and consistent accuracy this projectile is known for.
- Precisely Tapered Copper Jacket: The jacket is thicker at the base and tapers toward the tip, controlling the rate of expansion at high velocity while still ensuring reliable upset at reduced impact velocities, giving consistent terminal performance across a wide range of shooting distances.
- Match-Grade Jacket Consistency: Manufactured to tight tolerances, the jacket concentricity and uniformity support the kind of accuracy reloaders expect when building precision hunting loads.
- Quantity: 100 projectiles per box, providing a practical quantity for working up loads and building a stock of consistent, high-performance hunting ammunition.
For reloaders running .338 calibre rifles on Australian big game or long-range hunting country, the Hornady SST in 225 grain is a hard-to-fault choice that balances aerodynamic efficiency with proven terminal performance. With the quality control and construction engineering Hornady brings to their projectile line, these are components you can load with confidence and carry into the field knowing they'll do their job when it counts.
